And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

His roots are wrapped about the'stone -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.

Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search about thee , and shalt take thy rest in safety.

His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

So that they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.

When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were about me;

By God's great force is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about.

Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
